By your own logic, Nintendo has no motivation to invest millions in huge games like Zelda when they can sell millions of copies of Wii Play. It doesn't really hold. There are legions of people who want to see gaming grow. We used to watch black and white silent films, now we have IMAX. Its just progress.
Every gaming generation has been more expensive and initially smaller installed base than its predecessor. But developers understand that you have to make these investments early on so you can cash in later.
WHAT?
Nintendo has motivation to make huge epics because they make money. In the same vein, the PS3 was created to continue to make money after the PS2 had been put to bed. If the PiiS2 was introduced, then would it not effectively kill the interest inPS3 from both developers and the buying public? Hell, isn't the entire crux of your argument that Sony should make a PiiS2 because the Wii is stomping the PS3 now?
My mind is blown. Seriously. I need some water.
